Trial summary

The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the baroreceptor function in relation to surgical inflammation and orthostatic intolerance after elective hip arthroplasty. The main hypothesis is that baroreceptor function is attenuated after surgery and related to surgical inflammation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Baroreceptor Function and Inflammation in Relation to Orthostatic Intolerance During Early Mobilization After Elective Hip Arthroplasty

The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the baroreceptor function in relation to surgical inflammation and orthostatic intolerance after elective hip arthroplasty.

The main hypothesis is that baroreceptor function is attenuated after surgery and related to surgical inflammation.

Read the detailed description

Orthostatic intolerance and hypotension is prevalent during early mobilization after major surgery.

This observational study aims to evaluate the baroreceptor function during using a standardized evaluation protocol before, 6- and 24 hours after elective primary unilateral hip-arthroplasty.

The study hypothesis is that baroreceptor function as expressed by the valsalva ratio is attenuated after surgery and related to surgical inflammation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in baroreceptor function from preoperatively to 6 hours after surgery

    Change in baroreceptor function as expressed by change in the blood pressure valsalva ratio during a standardized assessment before and 6 hours after surgery.

    Measured: 6 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Orthostatic response in blood pressure

    The response in systolic and diastolic blood pressure during postural change from supine to standing

    Measured: Preoperative, 6 and 24 hours after surgery

  2. Orthostatic response in heart rate variability

    Heart rate variability during supine rest, sitting and standing as assessed by Spectral analysis.

    Measured: preoperative, 6 and 24 hours postoperative

  3. Orthostatic intolerance

    Orthostatic intolerance defined as the inability to sit or stand for 3 minutes due to presyncopal symptoms (Dizziness, Nausea, Blurred vision).

    Measured: preoperative, 6 and 24 hours after surgery

  4. Inflammatory markers

    Inflammatory markers (CRP and interleukin-6) measured at 3 separate timepoint: preoperative, 6- and 24 h after surgery

    Measured: preoperative, 6 and 24 hours postoperative

  5. Orthostatic Hypotension

    orthostatic hypotension defined according to international guidelines.

    Measured: Preoperative, 6 and 24 hours postoperative.

  6. Baroreceptor function

    baroreceptor function as expressed by change in the blood pressure valsalva ratio during a standardized assessment

    Measured: On the day of surgery: preoperatively, 6- and 24 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypotension, Orthostatic and Total Hip Replacement, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Øivind Jans, M.D (oeivind.jans@regionh.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in baroreceptor function from preoperatively to 6 hours after surgery (time frame: 6 hours after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jan 2015.
